Ones
One With a 9 Wing
Ones with this wing can have an aura of 9-like calm although
eruptions of temper are possible. Often have a detached quality
and can be mistaken for Fives. Tendency to formulate and embrace
principles that have little human content, but this is also their
strength. When awakened, may be objective and balanced, cool and
moderate in their evaluations. More entranced, might have
perfectionistic expectations that are not humanly possible to
meet. May hold social or political opinions that are supremely
logical but ultimately heartless and draconian. The rules come
first no matter what. Can be merciless or unwittingly cruel.
Often a little colorless in their personal appearance. Many Ones
with this wing are plain dressers, preferring functional clothing
that is appropriate to context but not flashy. The emphasis on
function may extend to their general lifestyle. Practicality is
highly valued.

conditions of others, sacrificing time and energy to do good
works. When more entranced, can be volatile and self-righteous.

give scolding lectures or display a kind of touchy emotionalism.
"Do as I say, not as I do" attitudes possible.
Hypocrisy likely because the person is so convinced they have
moral good intentions. Overlook inconsistencies in their own
behavior. Dependency in relationships. Far more likely to be a
jealous intimate subtype than Ones with a 9 wing.

their own motives; invade and dominate others. Believe their
actions are perfectly justified by their ethic of helping. May

Fives
Five With a 4 Wing

abstract, intuitive cast of thought, as though the Five were
thinking in geometric shapes instead of words or realistic
images. May be talented artistically and inhabit moods like Fours

you." Fear of taking action, develop "information
addiction" instead. Ask lots of questions but don't get

a suspicious scrutiny of other people's motives but can also be
blind followers. Misanthropic and Scrooge-like when defensive.
More able to keep their feelings cut off in a constant way. Can
be cold, skeptical, ironic, and disassociated. A Five's 6 wing

are interested in history or feel rooted in the past or related
to a long tradition. Also good at predicting the future. May test
potential friends for a long time but once you're in, you're in -
a friend for life. When more entranced, they may project a willed
remoteness. Have a "tip of the iceberg" quality - they
show little but you sense hidden dimensions, intensity and
activity. Tension between needing to be seen and withdrawing for
protection. Might act arrogant or cryptic or cynical when afraid.
When phobic, can be diplomatic and say things without saying
them. Entranced counterphobics are either cool and loners or

to 3. Often self-preservation subtypes, characterized by a
personal warmth. Can have a cheerful, forward-looking drive and
be disarmingly funny. Self-effacing, gracious and curious. When
more entranced, may be self-contradicting and seem as if they
want two things at once. Sometimes test others overtly, drive you
crazy with mixed messages. It may be hard to follow what they're
saying. When threatened, one defense is to become impossible to
please. When counterphobic, they tend to be accusative. Some get
caught up in big plans that they hope will result in material
security. Also can be insecure, irritable, petty, irrational,
chaotic. Subject to mood swings, inferiority complexes, runaway
fears. May have hair-trigger flare-ups of paranoia. Falsely

amazing number of comedians are Sevens with a 6 wing. More openly
vulnerable, have an unguarded, tender sweetness. Some have
trouble expressing anger even when they are justified. May evade
or finesse authority but still aware of it like a 6. Canny and
practical, they look for the deals and the loopholes. When more

insecurity. Their feelings can be easily hurt sometimes.

to the test. Grow dependent and addicted to other people, afraid

project their conscience onto others and then act irresponsibly.

self-confidence for worldly matters and getting what they want.

their sense of bounty and wide
range of interests. When more entranced, they may be demanding,

May want what they want right now. Aggressive, hasty drive to
acquire money and material options and recognition. Can demand
that the people in their lives say only what the Seven wants to
hear - sugarcoated truth. Lash out angrily if reality doesn't

gentle, kind-hearted, quieter. Often nurturing, protective
parents; steady, supportive friends. Informal and unpretentious,
patient, laconic, generally somewhat introverted. Sometimes a dry
or ironic sense of humor. May have an aura of implicit, simmering
anger rather like a sleeping volcano. Slow to erupt but when they
do it's sudden and explosive. When entranced, the 9 wing brings
an Eight a kind of callous numbness. They can be oblivious to the
force of their anger until after they've hurt someone. Calmly
dominating, colder; may have an indifference to softer emotions.
If very unhealthy, they can be mean without remorse or aggressive

partly aware. Can seem highly centered, take what they do
seriously but remain unimpressed with themselves. 8 wing can
bring a strong internal sense of direction. Relatively fearless
and highly intuitive. Generally not intellectual unless they have
it in their background. When more entranced, they manifest the
contradictions of the two styles expressing them in sequence.

blunt like an 8. One moment they are opinionated or nasty, next
moment kindly and supportive. Often don't hear their voices when
angry. Can have a sharp, grating edge. May be slow to anger and
then explode. Or angry but don't know it; may confuse being
assertive with being rude. Placidly callous - both styles support

into contexts, settle for being overlooked or just partly
recognized. Passive tolerance of absurd or damaging situations.
One-sided relationships where the Nine gives too much.
